Agenda - Australian Issue

This special Issue on Australian Poetry contains poems by some of that country's leading poets, and essays on new and established poets. The issue was well received and reviewed extensively in The Independent newspaper (with a special feature on Clive James). Here is an excellent introduction both to the exciting world of contemporary Australian poetry and to its rich cultural heritage.

"The Australian issue is an education in all the outbacks and inbacks of that country’s poetic territories." Dennis O’Driscoll

"A rich and dynamic choice, a very nice balance of poetry and criticism." Jan Owen

"I am proud to be associated with this issue. It looks brilliant... a great job has been done." John Kinsella
